Class 5A

Amarillo High (6-2, 3-0) vs. Tascosa (5-3, 3-0), 7:30 p.m.: Rivalry game. District 2-5A title on the line. What more can you ask for? Looks like a night for defenses and a field goal. .. AHS 10, Tascosa 7.

SA Central (2-6, 1-2) at Lubbock Monterey (1-7, 1-2), 4 p.m.: Although these teams are a combined 3-13 the winner tonight takes a giant step toward the playoffs. When a game starts at 4 p.m. go with the home team. ... Monterey 24, SA Central 23.

Lubbock High (0-8, 0-3) at Lubbock Coronado (2-6, 1-2), 7:30 p.m.: Coronado struggles when it starts a game at 11 p.m. But not at 7:30 p.m. ... Coronado 31, Lubbock High 14.

Last week: 2-0 (1.000)

Season: 8-4 (.666)

Class 4A

Frenship (4-4, 1-4) at Randall (7-1, 4-1), 7:30 p.m.: Randall can complete a huge turnaround from a one-win season to clinching a playoff berth with a victory tonight over a Frenship team which has been eliminated from the District 3-4A playoff picture. The only major question is if the Raiders will go with sophomore Collin Bowen at quarterback after he filled in for injured Hunter Alford and led Randall to two straight wins. ... Randall 28, Frenship 14.

Caprock (7-1, 4-1) at Plainview (0-8, 0-5), 7:30 p.m.: History is there for the making, as Caprock will wrap up its first playoff berth in 35 years with a victory over winless Plainview. Tonight's game will complete the transformation from local punchline into postseason participant, and perhaps, district champion. ... Caprock 45, Plainview 14.

Canyon (3-5, 2-3) at Dumas (4-4, 2-3), 7:30 p.m.: This is the district's elimination game, with the winner staying alive in the playoff picture and the loser playing for only pride next week. Both teams are coming off losses last week, but Dumas has the slightest of edges at home. ... Dumas 24, Canyon 23.

Last week: 2-1 (.667)

Season: 25-9 (.735)

- Lee Passmore

Class 3A

Pampa (3-5, 1-1) at Dalhart (8-1, 1-1), 7:30 p.m.: The Golden Wolves close out the regular season on a high note. ... Dalhart 42, Pampa 14.
